Digital Shelf Space Corp. (the "Company" or "DSS") (TSX
VENTURE:DSS)(OTCQX:DTSRF) is pleased to announce that its
innovative GSP RUSHFIT (www.gsprushfit.com) ultimate home workout
DVD fitness series is now placed in over 4000 stores across Canada
as of the end of the third quarter of 2011. The GSP RUSHFIT workout
series stars the Montreal-based Mixed Martial Arts ("MMA"), World
Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre ("GSP").
"Having gained this kind of traction in the Canadian retail
marketplace in only 9 months since having launched our GSP RUSHFIT
workout series, is a tremendous achievement for DSS," said Jeffrey
Sharpe CEO and President of DSS. "We have an incredible global
distribution partner who have not only helped secure this amazing
level of Canadian retail penetration, but also have successfully
opened the doors with US and international retail, extending the
brand beyond North America."
GSP RUSHFIT is represented in over 90 countries around the world
through DSS's global distribution agreement with Northern Response
(International) Ltd.
"We are very pleased that Canadian retail interest in GSP
RUSHFIT has been so strong that retailers moved aggressively to
list the home-based fitness training DVD series in advance of our
national TV advertising campaign," said David Bogart, VP Marketing
and Business Development for DSS. "Several national retail
accounts, totaling over 4000 stores, have been receiving their
stock and are supporting it with in-store merchandising
initiatives. GSP RUSHFIT has more than exceeded the initial
estimate of 3000 stores by the end of Q3, by over 35%, and has now
captured an incredible 80%+ of the key Canadian retail distribution
channels available."
GSP RUSHFIT was designed to appeal to the massive global
audience with an interest in MMA and MMA training methods as a
complete home fitness workout program. GSP RUSHFIT combines three
of the hottest fitness trends. The complete program uses various
MMA conditioning exercises, intense circuit style training and body
weight training for fitness consumers to build muscle, cut weight
and get in shape. GSP RUSHFIT is unlike any fitness program
available. This program was carefully designed to give the most
efficient and effective workout possible at home with minimal
equipment. When consumers see how hard internationally respected
athlete Georges St-Pierre pushes himself, working out alongside him
will motivate and inspire consumers to push themselves harder, and
achieve more than they ever thought possible. Georges St-Pierre has
dedicated his life to Mixed Martial Arts and is regarded as one of
the top conditioned athletes not only in the sport, but also in the
world. Fitness fans everywhere can benefit directly from the same
commitment GSP has made to his own health and fitness.

include statements about Canadian retail interest in GSP RUSFIT;

of Canadian and International sales as a result of the global

In connection with the forward-looking information contained in
this news release, Digital Shelf Space has made numerous
assumptions, regarding, among other things, expected growth of

demand. While Digital Shelf Space considers these assumptions to be
reasonable, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant

could cause Digital Shelf Space's actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking information contained herein. Known risk factors
include, among others: retail distribution of GSP RUSHFIT may not
increase in the quantum and in the timeframe anticipated, or at
all; there may be no further retail distributors for the GSP
RUSHFIT series; Direct Response TV spots and traditional
November/December retail fitness section rests may not result in
increased sales of GSP RUSHFIT; the Northern Response partnership
may not grow Digital Shelf Space's retail presence as anticipated;
the substantial investment of capital required to produce and
market video and entertainment productions, the need to obtain
additional financing and uncertainty as to the availability and
terms of future financing, unpredictability of the commercial
success of our programming, difficulties in integrating
technological changes and other trends affecting the entertainment
industry, significant competition in the global economic market,
the possibility the rate of growth of the market for fitness media
will slow, reliance on the health and marketability of celebrity
fitness talent in productions owned by Digital Shelf Space, the
possibility of competition from other ecommerce and online
marketing vendors, the continued strong growth in adoption of
digital media, the possibility of new fitness titles from
traditional large studios that target the male demographic, large
media production companies may move ecommerce operations in-house
rather than outsourcing, reliance on production studios continuing
to outsource ecommerce operations, reliance on a number of key
employees, limited operating history, the possibility of claims
against the intellectual property rights of Digital Shelf Space,

rights of Digital Shelf Space, and volatility of the market price
